pretending to be ordinary

I don't know the director's intention, but at present this film is regarded as a case of describing and reflecting on ordinary life.

I can only say that I have no sense of substitution at all. I clearly feel that this is a movie, which is different from life.
I think a good movie is usually said to be "realistic", not only resonant but even a rhythm (breathing or atmosphere, etc.) co-rhythm.

This film is really rare to make me feel such a strong sense of "watching a play". . .

When I looked back at the profile, I laughed. ordinary? This family is anything but ordinary. One of the presidents of NJ company, his wife is going to be a monk, and his daughter is in a bloody love. The brother-in-law himself is a prodigal son, and he also carries romantic debts. Neighbors Mrs. Jiang and daughter Lily are both headline figures.

Only the mother-in-law stayed out of it from the start. Yangyang watched from the sidelines.

For three hours, I watched one farce after another, the refined version of the 8 o'clock TV series, what is it not a dog blood platter?

In the end, the blood was over, and everyone was tired. Sending a sigh of relief, the story is over.

These extraordinary people, ready, want to live ordinary days.



Just the happy event at the beginning of the film and the funeral at the end are enough of a sense of formality. If you describe life in such a pretentious way, it is because your life is not real.

What I want to shoot, and I really feel it, there is too much difference. Pretending to be ordinary, it also looks so hypocritical and awkward.

    "Since the invention of the movie, human life has been prolonged at least three times." "I thought that if I live again, there might be something different. The result is still the same, no different. I just suddenly felt that if I live again, it seems like , It’s really unnecessary." "You can’t see it yourself, so I’ll show it to you." "Without a cloud, without a tree, it’s not beautiful." "I think I'm old too..."

Yi Yi: A One and a Two... quotes

  • Yang-Yang: Daddy, you can't see what I see and I can't see what you see. So how can I know what you see?

    N.J.: Good question. I never thought of that. That's why we need a camera. Do you want one to play with?

    Yang-Yang: Daddy, can we only know half of the truth?

    N.J.: What? I don't get it

    Yang-Yang: I can only see what's in front, not what's behind. So I can only know half of the truth, right?

  • N.J.: I had chance to relive part of my youth.My first thought was then i could make things turnout differently but they turned out the same or not much different.I suddenly realized that even if i was given a second chance i wouldn't need it, I really wouldn't.
